I have a schema which consist of the following table. 1)TABLE category_type. Basically we have 4 category_type a)Groceries b)Pharma c)Baby Products d) Sports item
CREATE TABLE `category_type` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`image` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
`creation_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`last_updated_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`created_by` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`last_updated_by` int(11) NOT NULL,
`object_version_number` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
2) TABLE category. Table's description as follows. The category_type and category are different. Category Type is the higher level as explain earlier. The category table consist of the next level of categorization. Ex) Staples,Personal Care,Biscuit and Beverages is the 2nd level of category which come under the main category_type Groceries. All the next level of the categorization is been done in the same category table itself. Suppose rice and pulses,flour and suji,spices,salt and sugar are the 3rd level of categorization with comes under staples category.So,all the 3rd level of the categorization refer to the 2nd level of categories using the "parent_category_id" field in the same table.If the staples have id=53 there sub categories will have there "parent_category_id"=53 in the same table.
CREATE TABLE `category` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`creation_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`last_updated_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`created_by` int(11) NOT NULL,
`last_updated_by` int(11) NOT NULL,
`object_version_number` int(11) NOT NULL,
`image` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
`category_type_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`parent_category_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `FK_category_categorytype_id` (`category_type_id`),
KEY `FK_parent_category_id` (`parent_category_id`),
CONSTRAINT `FK_category_categorytype_id` FOREIGN KEY (`category_type_id`) REFERENCES `category_type` (`id`),
CONSTRAINT `FK_parent_category_id` FOREIGN KEY (`parent_category_id`) REFERENCES `category` (`id`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1011 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
3)TABLE product.Now ultimately the product table come.It has category_id field which references to the id field in table category
CREATE TABLE `product` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`category_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`manufacturer` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`unique_name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`barcode` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`search_code` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`active` int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
`image` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
`creation_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`last_updated_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`created_by` int(11) NOT NULL,
`last_updated_by` int(11) NOT NULL,
`object_version_number` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `UNQ_product_unique_name` (`manufacturer`,`name`,`category_id`),
KEY `FK_product_category_id` (`category_id`),
CONSTRAINT `FK_product_category_id` FOREIGN KEY (`category_id`) REFERENCES `category` (`id`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1834 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

I am implementing a product filter based on the category been clicked. The code written at the front end are as follows:
<ul class="megamenu skyblue">
<!--1st level of categories -->
<li><a onclick="getCategorySearchAjaxResults('Staples','53')" class="color1" href="#">Staples</a></li>
<li><a onclick="getCategorySearchAjaxResults('HouseHold','54')" class="color1" href="#">HouseHold</a></li>
<li><a onclick="getCategorySearchAjaxResults('Wash nd Clean','55')" class="color1" href="#">Wash nd Clean</a></li>
<li><a onclick="getCategorySearchAjaxResults('Biscuit and Beverages','56')" class="color1" href="#">Biscuit and Beverages</a></li>
</ul>
When user click on any of the hyperlink in the list. The getCategorySearchAjaxResults(par1,par2) function is been called with the Category name and the Category id passed to it.
The implementation of the above function is shown below
function getCategorySearchAjaxResults(category) {
$
.ajax({
url : "${pageContext.request.contextPath}/customer/category_search.shx",
data : 'category=' + category,
success : function(data) {
var obj = JSON.parse( data);
$("#prod_list").html(buildProduct(obj.searchedProducts));
},
error : function(data, status, er) {
alert("Error occured while searching the category.");
}
});
}
The important thing to note here is the return searchedProducts is shoppingCart object is been replaced in the div with id=prod_list.
In the controller of the above the following code is been written
@RequestMapping(value = "/customer/category_search",method = RequestMethod.GET, headers="Accept=*/*")
public @ResponseBody String getcategorySearchResults(Model model,HttpSession session,
@ModelAttribute("shoppingCart") ShoppingCart shoppingCart,
@RequestParam("category") String category) throws IOException{
shoppingCart.setCategory(category);
List<Product> rs = productManager.findByCriteria(shoppingCart.getRetailer().getId(),category,shoppingCart);
model.addAttribute("shoppingCart", shoppingCart);
String json = JSONUtil.createJsonString(shoppingCart);//create the json of the shoppingCart object of ShoppingCart type
System.out.println(json);
return json;
}
BTW shoppingCart is simply the bean class used to the store the data to be displayed on the front end. It is converted to json and forward it to jsp page when ajax called is been made. The implementation of the findByCriteria is show below
public List<Product> findByCriteria(Integer orgaId, String categoryName,ShoppingCart shoppingCart) {
List<Product> rs = findByCriteria(orgaId, categoryName);
shoppingCart.setSearchedProducts(rs);
return rs;
}
The implementation of the findByCriteria(2parameters) is show below
public List<Product> findByCriteria(Integer orgaId, String categoryName){
return productDAO.findByCriteria(orgaId, categoryName);
}
The implementation of the findByCriteria(2parameters) in productDAO is shown below:
public List<Product> findByCriteria(Integer orgaId, String categoryName) {
List<Product> rs = null;
Query query = null;
Category category = null;
StringBuilder hql = new StringBuilder();
try{
String categoryHql=(categoryName!=null)?" and category.id=:category_id ":" ";
hql.append(" from Product product ");
hql.append(" left join fetch product.category category ");
hql.append(" left join fetch product.retailerSnapshots retailerSnapshot ");
hql.append(" where retailerSnapshot.organization.id=:org_id");
hql.append(categoryHql);
rs = getProducts("category_id",orgaId, categoryName, hql);
}catch(Exception e){
//if (sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().getTransaction() != null) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().rollback();
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
//sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().close();
}
return rs;
}
As we see above that when the user clicks on the particular link. It category id is been passed to the function. For Example if Staples with id=53 is been clicked then it's product with category_id=53 will be displayed. But the problem is that product doesn't refer to any category id of the 1st level of the categorization.It refers to the last level of the categorization. In short if staples is been been clicked it's last level of the category are Dates,cashews,edible oil etc. Product with category id of last level of category should be displayed. So when i click on staples no product is been displayed. How to i solve this problem? On the click the last level of the category_id should be searched and the respective product should be displayed. I hope the question is been understood. If not please leave a comment.
